Lenin Enrolment

Lenin Enrolment

The process of Lenin Enrolment (1923-25) was a process in which there concerted drive to get more of the proletariat and workers into the Communist party, and become active in party affairs. This process started firstly as a means of social cohesion, but the rules of admission were virtually abandoned and 128,000 people were signed up within the three months prior to the pivotal 13th party Congress. Although Lenin Enrolment was supposedly for party purposes, Stalin hijacked this ideal, and used Lenin Enrolment, for his own personal gain by placing his supporters in places of political power
